Chapter 1020: Reaction

"Hehehe, little girl, it seems you have quite a temper. Well, since you've met me today, I'm going to help you change it! Otherwise, with your arrogant and self-important personality, you'll never get married, even in a few hundred years."

Perhaps Whirlpool Wulang's biting remarks were too venomous. The little girl immediately erupted, spitting out the bubblegum from her mouth. As if endowed with life, the gum transformed into an incredibly cold mechanical bomb, rapidly diving towards Whirlpool Wulang's forehead.

"Bubblegum can be turned into a bomb? It seems your trio has truly given me some surprises," Whirlpool Wulang sneered. However, he didn't seem to account for such an attack. In that instant, he vanished from his spot, then drew his long saber and slashed it down towards the little girl's body in mid-air.

It must be said that the girl's reflexes and agility were quite remarkable. Without hesitation, she leaped into the air, pushing off the ground, and fired both pistols, unleashing a flurry of bullets at Whirlpool Wulang.

As she continuously pulled the triggers, gunfire erupted, creating an incredibly strong suppressive effect on Whirlpool Wulang. However, Whirlpool Wulang's strength was simply not something this little girl could contend with. His long saber danced, creating a dazzling rhythm of attacks.

Not a single bullet she fired managed to hit Whirlpool Wulang. Every last one was pulverized by the energized blade in his hand.

"Damn it, what did you eat to grow up? Your hand has calluses from gripping that saber!" the little girl huffed indignantly, then suddenly pulled out a very delicate rabbit-head plush toy from her waist.

The toy looked more like a coin purse. From it, the little girl retrieved two pill-like objects.

"Old man, today I'll show you my true power!" As soon as the little girl finished speaking, she swallowed the two silver pills she held.

In an instant, the little girl, originally just over a meter tall, rapidly expanded. Her body swelled to over ten meters, appearing like a giant in the center of the battlefield.

When this scene unfolded before everyone, including Xu Yang, they all gasped. It was their first time witnessing such an ability on the Yingzhou continent. The little girl stood with her hands on her hips, her expression arrogant and cold, sneering as she looked down at Whirlpool Wulang and the others. Her eyes shimmered with chilling silver light.

"Hehehe, you insignificant toys, watch as I crush you!" As she finished her boast, the giant girl, hands on hips, lifted a massive foot and brought it down towards Whirlpool Wulang's position.

Soon, a vast, dark shadow enveloped Whirlpool Wulang from above. However, this time he didn't seem to choose to evade. He knew very well that in her giant form, any direct attack on her true body was impossible. Even with his speed, he couldn't completely escape her grasp the instant she lifted her foot.

"Hahaha, why aren't you running anymore, old man? If you scurried like a rat, perhaps I'd take pity on you and even give you a way out!"

However, despite her words, the giant little girl's actions were entirely different. Her massive, raised foot didn't pause for an instant. It mercilessly crushed down onto Whirlpool Wulang's head. With a deafening rumble, the giant girl completely covered the spot where Whirlpool Wulang had been.

For the next three seconds, the little girl continued to press down with her enormous right foot, seemingly enjoying the sensation of crushing her opponent. Embarrassingly, after three seconds, she suddenly felt a sharp, needle-like pain beneath her giant foot.

With an angry howl, she abruptly lifted her right foot, only to discover that she had stepped on a huge nail in the middle of her sole. This "nail" was a special weapon Whirlpool Wulang had conjured on the spot.

"You bastard, you stinky old man! How dare you ambush me with such a trick! That's outrageous!"

Whirlpool Wulang chuckled. "Do you really think the slight increase in offensive and defensive attributes gained from simply becoming giant allows you to do whatever you want in front of me? How laughable!"

The little girl quickly returned to her original size, pulled the nail from her foot, and sat on the ground, wailing. Her appearance was somewhat endearing, but remembering her almost maniacal personality when she lost control, Whirlpool Wulang cautiously maintained a safe distance from her, watching her calmly.

"Well, little girl? If you're done playing, go back where you came from. This is a battlefield, not a place for a mischievous girl like you to easily tread. If you choose to leave now, I certainly won't make things difficult for you." Whirlpool Wulang casually sheathed his saber, seemingly not intending to attack the little girl further.

However, the girl still looked unyielding. She drew two exquisite pistols from her waist again and unleashed another barrage of wild bullets at Whirlpool Wulang. But this time, before Whirlpool Wulang could even react, Ling Yao flew down, having moved from the nearby battlefield to the little girl's location.

"Oh? That sword-wielding woman over there, you didn't finish her off so quickly, did you?"

Ling Yao shook her head helplessly. "Boss said he wants to deal with that woman personally. I don't know what he's thinking; lately, he seems especially excited whenever he sees a woman." For some reason, Ling Yao's words seemed laced with jealousy, which even made the usually stern Whirlpool Wulang crack a smile.

"Alright, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Boss never loses sight of the bigger picture, so don't worry." Whirlpool Wulang soared into the air and, in a flash, withdrew from this localized battle. The opponent went from Whirlpool Wulang to Ling Yao.
